The Asia Minor Disaster of 1922 it was of catalytic importance in the way Greek society was structured on an economic, political and cultural level. Through art, once again, the participants in the visual exhibition are looking for an encounter with the past. What does the Asia Minor Disaster mean for someone in 2022? What is its connection to the story? How does one approach historical representations of the era? These are some of the key questions posed by a contemporary art exhibition based on a historical event.
